Mr. Shiny Cadillackness Lyrics

Has your child completed his or suspicious activity booklet?
Don’t let this summer go to waste.
The enemy is preparing their children are you?
Time to show them who’s boss.
Moloch demands fresh blood to maintain the appetite of his mechanical heart.
Will you sacrifice your first born like Abraham would his Isaac?
Will you sacrifice your first born like Abraham would his Isaac?

Tell me, why Dick Cheney underneath my bed?
Hell no that ain’t cool!
Tendin’ to the lips of a wooden head.
No sir, that ain’t cool.
Come on now take one for the team.
Stick it to the man, stick it to the man.
Raise the dagger high above Isaac
and drive down as hard as you can.

Shiny Master Caddylackness, haloes suit you well.
Stand fast, upset the system, so many tomorrows to sell.
Shiny Master Caddylackness, haloes suit you well.
Stand fast, upset the system, so many tomorrows to sell.

Mother, mother, don’t want to work on the farm no more.
Father, father, don’t want to wear you uniform.
Mary, Mary, keep me safe and comforted.
Father, father, raise that dagger above your head.

Shiny Master Caddylackness, haloes suit you well.
All goes exactly as planned so many tomorrows to sell.
Shiny Master Caddylackness, haloes suit you well.
Stand fast, upset the system, so many tomorrows to sell.

Shiny Master Caddylackness, haloes suit you well.
All goes exactly as planned so many tomorrows to sell.
Shiny Master Caddylackness, haloes suit you well.
Stand fast, upset the system, so many tomorrows to sell.

All you ready to prove your love to the Lord?
I said are you willing to prove your love to the Lord?
As Abraham handed down his first born on a stone.
Do you wonder what is right and what is wrong?

From www.pro-rock.com:

"Some people don't like politics in their songs. I don't either. But some characters loom so large in our lives that they are fair game to be used as fodder for creating fictions. Both Bryan and Eric strong-armed themselves onto tape yet again."

I did get these off the website, so any fuck ups are the websites fault.

Neil wrote the lyrics down, and changed some during recording. He just forgot to change them on the lyric sheets before he sent them to the web master. According to the message board anyways.

Raise a glass to marketing because that is what this song blasts, the marketing of a fear driven system. surrender your son to the cause of America, a sacrifice for the good of imperialism. i'm guessing.

I really love how Neil can take all these ancient religious themes and put them into a modern, relevant context.

Where'd you get these lyrics? If they were from Clutch's site then okay...but if you did these yourself, you screwed up.

Very vague comments. Does anyone have insight into the meaning? There's clear reference to Isaac & Abraham, but who is the Title subject? It seems there is distinct opposition to "Institution" in the broadest sense. Interesting the reference to Moloch, condemned for sacrificing children, which highlights the hypocrisy,
